Jakob is awesome. So matter of fact. He’s doing his own thing and he’s going to race whoever shows up. Yared might be an all time world beater or a flash in the pan. Jakob will be there dealing with him if that’s what’s required to win. You want to know how champions think, listen to Jakob. It’s not about the competition, it’s about what he can do.

In a sport where we see the top stars repeatedly duck each other, makes you appreciate those like Jakob that race repeatedly to prove they are the best.
I love when Jakob says Jakob things, that hint of cockiness and arrogance always there, because he knows he's the best and he certainly fears no Americans, esp after beating the best from Africa the last few years.

“Last few years”? Lol
(Lost to Cheruiyot right after Tokyo, Tefera indoors, lost WCs, Tim ran faster this weekend)
Jacob got this one wrong. Naguse isn’t another pretender or face in the crowd. He didn’t run this race to take a shot at Ingebtegtsen, he ran to get a close up view of him. Yared will be stalking him and will take a shot at him at a later meet, this was just a test run.

I love Nuguse but this copium from stans is so annoying. Jakob is just better than him right now and that’s ok. Nuguse had a great debut, I don’t understand why so many feel they need to make excuses for his performance.
Nuguse was gaining near the end before Jakob jogged it in and showed he can compete for medals this year, but the fact that Jakob let it go out relatively slowly (2:52) and still handled the field easily shows that he is confident that he can win in various ways this year, and we'll see what happens if the pace is 2:46-48. With Reynolds Cheruiyot, Tim, Nuguse, Hoare, and Jakob, it will be a very competitive race for the title. I hope we will see a 3:27 with Jakob 1, Nuguse 2, Tim 3, Hoare 4, Kessler 5.

Whole lot of disrespect here for Wightman and Kerr, given they are 3:29 guys with a World Champ gold and Olympic bronze between them. You've got 3:32 and 3:33 guys with no major titles ahead of them? Really?
